"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Seems that in every dating advice article I see we get the recommendation to be nice to the waiter and tip them with a smile.

What's your view on kindness? Should we demonstrate kindness, its opposite or somewhere in between?

Is this another example of society wanting to control an individuals instinctual self?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

The "nice" thing is confusing to guys because everyone has their own definition of what that means. I'm a nice guy but In a direct way. I'll give two examples:

•One guy is very nice to everyone but in a people pleasing way. In the case with Women, He tries too hard to please.
•The other guy is also very nice to everyone but in a direct and confident way. He greets others with a directness handshake and says "Hey how are you, I'm xxxx". In the case with Women, He's nice but not a pushover. His tone is stern and direct with authority but he's still considered "nice"

Don't give as good tip if you didn't get good service. If others are nice be nice. Don't be nice to the guy giving you the middle finger

If the server is ignoring us or genuinely giving us bad service, yes I will reduce the tip.

But most of the time, I will cut the server some slack because a lot of F-ups with the order happen in the kitchen, beyond the server’s control. Sometimes the kitchen is slow or messes up the order, and server is apologetic. I don’t want to be a dik to a server for something that is clearly not their fault.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
